It look like MarcEdit or XLST are not good solutions for this. My goal is to create an small relational database project from some Marc records, and I am looking to have human readable names for the columns and tables. 

I was hoping there was a downloadable datastructure for Marc to Mods, either as a JSON file or a python library.

    You can also do a pipeline of MARC to MARCXML with yaz-marcdump or marc4j, then transform MARCXML to MODS via the XSLT at http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/

    I don't know about a Python library or json converter.  But MarcEdit can do it.

    Hi All,
    
    I was looking at this website: https://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/mods-mapping.html#mapping
    
    Is there a python library (or even just a JSON file) that transforms MARC to MODS?
